For over 15 years, this program has provided much-needed meat for lower-income Americans . But in a sign of the times, donations fell sharply once the recession of 2008 hit . It wasn’t that fewer deer were harvested; it was that hunters needed to feed their own families . Hunting today is considered more of a sport and less a necessity, but the economic climate is changing that for many Americans . This isn’t the first time that Americans have turned to hunting to put meat on the table . In fact, it’s only in the past couple of generations that we have gotten away from the land when it comes to putting food on the table . But perhaps it’s time to take a look back and relearn the lessons of yesteryear . The wooded and wilderness areas of the country are still rich in game, large and small, and in these troubled times, it represents a bonanza of food for hungry families . 3 MEAT HUNTER How To Feed Your Family With Your Gun History Lessons In rural America during the Great Depression, local banks went bust, leaving rural families with only a couple of dollars in their pockets . The Great Plains entered a nine-year drought . Farmers not only lost crop income, but also lost the ability to raise food on their own land . Families that once relied on their hard work to coax food from fertile ground were plunged into poverty and hunger . Many farms had vegetables, fruit trees, egg-laying chickens, and often a milk cow . Yet all across the nation, meat (beef, pork, and poultry) tended to be expensive . At the worst of the Great Depression in 1935, the average per capita consumption of meat was just 75 .6 pounds for the whole year .i Contrast that with 160 .7 pounds per capita consumed in 2009 . As a result, rural families relied on hunting every day to supply one-quarter to one-third of their diets with meat . With gasoline being an expense many could not afford, most hunting during the Great Depression was done within walking distance of the farmhouse . Typically, young boys would go hunting early each morning before going to school . Some were even forced to quit school to provide for their families . While the firearms used were far simpler and far less expensive than the ones used today, ammunition was still a costly expense . In many families, every shell was expected to bring game home to the dinner table . Men who grew up then recall how they were given only one round for their .22 caliber rifles to use for hunting the day’s meat . One story tells of Clarence Schultz of Duluth who had nineteen reasons to go hunting . Reasons 1-17 were himself and his 16 brothers and sisters . Reason 18 was his mother—who sent him out to hunt with his .22-caliber rifle and warned him not waste any shells . According to his boyhood friend, Jeff Langford, “For a nickel, you got ten .22 shells . If he didn’t come back with ten rabbits, his mom would give him a whippin’ ”. And that was reason #19 .ii Rabbits and other small game were common table fare during the Great Depression . A man with the handle of OldStudent posted on an online discussion board about his father, who had hunted as a boy in the 1930s . OldStudent related family lore that “[his father’s] sisters would get mad at him for all the rabbits—they were sick of eating rabbit ”. Unfortunately deer were hard to find iii. 4 How To Feed Your Family With Your Gun MEAT HUNTER By 1937, the estimated deer population for all of Missouri was down to only 2,000 iv. Whitetail deer and most other big game had been nearly wiped out in the late 1800s by market hunters sending meat to Europe . They nearly hunted deer to extinction from Pennsylvania to the Rockies . During the Great Depression, hunting almost destroyed this endangered population for good . Wild turkey nearly vanished, and even to this day, it is still difficult to find this shy bird in parts of the southeast United States . Hunting wasn’t the only way families supplied themselves with meat during the Depression . Trap lines were used to capture small game such as raccoon, muskrat, opossum, squirrel, and ground hog . Trapping not only provided food, but also valuable hides from fur-bearing animals such as mink and fox used by the clothing industry . Families also put fish on the dining table using any means necessary, including illegal methods such as “noodling” and “trout tickling ”. For- tunately, most local sheriffs sympathized In this iconic 1936 photograph, Depression-era photographer Dorthea with their neighbors Lange captured the grim heartache experienced by so many Americans at the time. Florence Owens Thompson and her children had been living in a and turned a blind tent, subsisting on vegetables gleaned from surrounding fields and birds the eye when it came to children killed. The photograph was snapped just after Florence had sold hungry hunters going the tires from her car to buy food. over the legal bag limit . 5 MEAT HUNTER How To Feed Your Family With Your Gun Food For Consumers Is Easy Today…But Farms Are Not Self-Sufficient Agriculture has changed considerably since the 1930s . It has now become a specialized rotating monoculture—that means growing corn one year, soybeans the next, and not a lot else . The cost of seed, fertilizer, and machinery can leverage a farm into millions of dollars of debt . Nebraska farm wife Helen Bolton observed that modern farmers are completely different from those who survived the 1930s: “They don’t have chickens . They don’t milk . They don’t bake bread . They don’t do anything like that, and they don’t can too much anymore . Of course, a lot of women work in town, now days ”. v Most Americans are so accustomed to convenience that many view it as an entitlement . More and more people have fled the suburbs and built single-family homes in once-rural areas, creating a checkerboard of “farmettes” and small estates . While these spreads have the outward look and feel of self-sufficient homesteads, it’s an illusion; most rely on Walmart more than their own gardens . Politicians are squabbling over economic policy in Europe and at home . Citizens angered at government bailouts to corporations have taken to the streets all around the world . With this back drop, is it any wonder that in October of 2011, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke guardedly warned Congress that the “recovery is close to faltering ”. vi 6 How To Feed Your Family With Your Gun MEAT HUNTER Hunting Can Feed Your Family In spite of modern conveniences and a Walmart on every corner, hunting, fishing, and trapping are still inexpensive ways to provide meat to your family . Wild meat has an advantage over most of the meat available in stores today, too . It’s not loaded with antibiotics and hormones, or fed an artificial diet . Lucky for us, big game has rebounded and is plentiful . Since the 1950s, deer populations have exploded . Current estimates put them at about 20 million and in some areas they are considered a dangerous nuisance .vii According to State Farm Insurance, there were an estimated 2 .3 million collisions between deer and vehicles in the U .S . between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2010 .viii Wild hogs, the legacy of our ancestors who let their pigs feed in unfenced meadows and forests, have overrun much of Texas and the Gulf Coast . Feral swine are a problem in 40 states . Breeding populations exist as far north as Michigan . Yet, for all the squealing going on over their numbers, wild hogs represent a virtually untapped food resource . In addition, they taste just as good as pen-raised pork from the grocery store—and tend to be leaner . Meanwhile, the wild turkey population, which nearly shrunk to 30,000 birds nationwide in the 1930s, has surged back with an estimated population of 7 million birds .ix The meat is out there in the fields, across the streams, and in the hollows in abundance . There’s just one catch: you have to catch it . Wild hogs represent a virtually untapped food source as far north as Michigan. 7 MEAT HUNTER How To Feed Your Family With Your Gun Meat Hunting vs .

And in no other angling does success depend so much on the size of the line used. It’s the use of these fine lines, plus the fact that the breams first run is fast, powerful and deliberate that finds the faults in an anglers bream fishing techniques. For most anglers a light line is imperative.” Lance Wedlick “Fishing in Australia” September 1959 Editorial Of recent weeks I with many others have observed the fishing in the Tambo by hundreds of anglers. I must say it worries me to get reports of fish heavy with spawn or milt being taken, and most bream caught were in the river to spawn. I think the number of fish in the river this year was due to the increased salinity of the Gippsland Lakes and this has provided the opportunity for many anglers to catch large numbers of fish including large spawning bream over 40cms.I have had it passed on to me that some anglers have taken over 40 of these fish in a week. On the positive side I have had numbers of very experienced anglers both young and old asking why isn’t there a closed season when this spawning activity takes place. This is a question that this publication has asked regularly with no positive outcome.

Many of the members of Her Majesty's family have given their royal countenance to the sports of the people, and to none more than to the gentle craft. Her Majesty's grand- daughter, Her Eoyal Highness the Duchess of Fife, has especially distinguished herself amongst the mighty salmon, no less than six fish having fallen to her rod in one day, I believe, on more than one occasion. It is gratifying to a humble angler to feel that the Royal Family sympathise so much with the sport so dear to him as to identify themselves with it. The author has endeavoured to portray the sport of angling for the last twenty years, up to and including the year of the Diamond Jubilee, from the point of view of the angler whose sport has been in well -fished waters, not in the highly-preserved waters only open to the wealthy few; and this the indulgent reader must bear in mind, should he Harry Druidale be inclined to be a little sarcastic on the sport recorded.

KAIRNAR Department of Aquaculture College of Fisheries, GADVASU Ludhiana, Punjab, India Sport fishing is one of the most adventurous activities throughout the world. Most of the developed and developing countries have the modern tools and techniques for catching the fish. In the developing country like in India, there is a huge gap on information, scientific knowledge about sport fish as because the sport fishing activities is region and species specific. Though few states in India follow the Government rules and regulation but there is a lack of awareness about sport fishing activities to conserve the threatened and going to endanger fish species. Also the activity will help to mitigate unemployment problem through income generation; simultaneously catering ecotourism avenues. Moreover Government interference is also necessary for sustainable development and management of sport fisheries activity in India. Key words: Conservation, Employment opportunity, Rules and Regulation, Sport fishing, Sustainable development Recreational fishing, also called sport black markets (FAO, 2012). The most fishing, is fishing for pleasure or common form of recreational fishing is competition. It can be contrasted done with a rod, reel, line, hooks and any with commercial fishing, which is fishing one of a wide range of baits. Other devices for profit, or subsistence fishing, which is commonly referred to as terminal tackle are fishing for survival. Recreational fishing also used to affect or complement the can be defined as fishing of aquatic animals presentation of the bait to the targeted fish.

  • Fisherman Fisherman
    Water related jobs Eimantas Ruskus, 8a Fisherman Fisherman A fisherman or fisher is someone who captures fish and other animals from a body of water, or gathers shellfish. Worldwide, there are about 38 million commercial and subsistence fishermen and fish farmers. Fishermen may be professional or recreational and may be both men or women. Fishing has existed as a means of obtaining food since the Mesolithic period. History: Fishing has existed as a means of obtaining food since the Mesolithic period. Fishing had become a major means of survival as well as a business venture. Fishing and the fisherman have also influenced Ancient Egyptian religion; mullets were worshiped as a sign of the arriving flood season. Bastet was often manifested in the form of a catfish. In ancient Egyptian literature, the method that Amun used to create the world is associated with the tilapia's method of mouth-brooding. Commerce According to the FAO, there were about 39 million fishers in countries producing more than 200,000 tonnes in 2012, which is nearly 140% the number in 1995. The total fishery production of 66 million tonnes equated to an average productivity of 3.5 tonnes per person. Most of this growth took place in Asian countries, where four-fifths of world fishers and fish farmers dwell. Most fishermen are men involved in offshore and deep- sea fisheries. Women fish in some regions inshore from small boats or collect shellfish and seaweed. In many artisanal fishing communities, women are responsible for making and repairing nets, post- harvest processing and marketing. Job… Food… Culture… For some communities, fishing provides not only a source of food and work but also community and cultural identity.

Nothing is more unfair to an author than to read or " dip into " his book before seeing what he has to say about it in his Preface. In this you will often find that he explains the scope and plan (or perhaps absence of plan) of his work, and tells his readers what to expect and what not. Thus, to some extent he is able, by way of anticipation, to pro- tect himself against unfair objections which might be alleged against his performance, and to escape the wrath of some readers who might be disappointed at not finding what they expected to find, and what the author never meant they should find. Let me, then, say a word or two by way of explanation in reference to these " Notes." They are not intended to form a book of methodical instruction for anglers ; nor do they pretend to be exhaustive of the subjects treated of.

    Fishing techniques - Wikipedia Page 1 of 11 Fishing techniques From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fishing techniques are methods for catching fish. The term may also be applied to methods for catching other aquatic animals such as molluscs (shellfish, squid, octopus) and edible marine invertebrates. Fishing techniques include hand gathering, spearfishing, netting, angling and trapping. Recreational, commercial and artisanal fishers use different techniques, and also, sometimes, the same techniques. Recreational fishers fish for pleasure or sport, while commercial fishers fish for profit. Artisanal fishers use traditional, low-tech methods, for survival in third- world countries, and as a cultural heritage in other countries. Mostly, recreational fishers use angling methods and commercial fishers use netting methods. The fisherman – by Charles Napier Hemy, 1888 There is an intricate link between various fishing techniques and knowledge about the fish and their behaviour including migration, foraging and habitat. The effective use of fishing techniques often depends on this additional knowledge.[1] Which techniques are appropriate is dictated mainly by the target species and by its habitat.[2] Fishing techniques can be contrasted with fishing tackle. Fishing tackle refers to the physical equipment that is used when fishing, whereas fishing techniques refers to the manner in which the tackle is used when fishing.
